Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To study the morphology and the morphometry of the oblique popliteal ligament (OPL).
METHODS: Thirty cadaver knees were dissected to study the morphology and morphometry of the OPL. For the measurement of the morphology of the OPL a standard tape and the vernier callipers were used.
RESULTS: Out of 30 specimens 14 were Y shaped, 10 were band shaped, and 6 were Z shaped observed. Total length was measured on both the limbs, on the right side it was 4.5 ± 0.4 cm and on the left side 4.5 ± 0.5 cm was recorded. Width at the medial attachment was also measured on both the limbs, on the right side it was 4.6 ± 0.5 cm and on the left side 4.7 ± 0.5 cm was recorded. And width at the lateral attachment was recorded too, on the right side it was 4 ± 0.3 cm and on the left side it was 4 ± 0.3 cm. Width at the midpoint was recorded as on the right side 3.5 ± 0.2 cm and on the left side 3.5 ± 0.2 cm.
CONCLUSIONS: The OPL is a thick ligament that arises as an extension of the semimembranosus, and it exists in various morphology which includes band, Y, Z, complex shapes.

摘要：
目的：研究斜韧带（OPL）的形态学和形态计量学。
方法：解剖30具尸体膝关节，研究OPL的形态学和形态学。为了测量OPL的形态,使用标准胶带和游标卡尺。
结果：在30个标本中，有14个呈Y形，10个是带状的，6个为Z形。测量了四肢的总长度，右侧为4.5±0.4cm，左侧为4.5±0.5cm。还测量了四肢内侧附件的宽度，右侧为4.6±0.5cm，左侧为4.7±0.5cm。还记录了横向附件的宽度，右侧为4±0.3cm,左侧为4±0.3cm。中点处的宽度记录为右侧3.5±0.2cm和左侧3.5±0.2cm。
结论：OPL是一种作为半膜延伸而产生的厚韧带，它以各种形态存在，包括带，Y,Z,复杂的形状。
